The sweatshirt is made carefully and aesthetically. It is a blend of cotton and polyester, half and half, with Rip-Stop weave. On the plus side: a double-sided zipper fastened with a flap, 5 pockets including one inside, velcro panels and adjustable cuffs.
Durable and comfortable uniform sweatshirt with a cut similar to the 2010 pattern, sewn from Rip-Stop material in the unique MAPA camouflage. The CJ-01 sweatshirt will prove useful in tactical training, survival, ASG and recreational outdoor activities. Although intended for the civilian market, it will also be appreciated by professionals from the uniformed services. The hoodie is equipped with five practical pockets and elbow baffles for protective pads. It is fastened with a two-way zipper covered with a patch.
The camouflage pattern MAPA was designed by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and currently a researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, author of, among other publications, Theory of Deconstruction of Visual Communication. Tools for designing military camouflage (Gdansk 2015). The innovative design, supported by convincing theoretical and experimental arguments, including computer analysis of thousands of photographs of the terrain, attracted the attention of specialists and military clothing manufacturers. In 2017, the MAPA camouflage made its debut at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as a camouflage pattern for the Dromader system of armor and uniforms from Maskpol, which is part of the Polish Armament Group. The system was created for soldiers of the Territorial Defense Army, but the MAPA camouflage itself was also considered as a perspective pattern for the entire Polish Armed Forces, where it could replace the wz.93 camouflage. Unfortunately, the MAPA camouflage has not been implemented as an official camouflage pattern of the Polish Army to date.
Highlights of the MAPA camouflage in the basic forest variant:
- 6 colors that form layers resembling levels on a map,
- colors optimized for operations in the forests of Central Europe,
- use of the illusion of three-dimensionality and anamorphosis effect,
- biomorphic shapes making the design similar to vegetation,
- strongly contrasting elements imitating flashes of light and shadows,
- deformation of the masked silhouette using macro pattern,
- color noise reproduced by means of a micro pattern.
The MAPA pattern is an interesting alternative to the best contemporary camouflage patterns such as PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn or Finnish M/05. In some respects, it is more advanced than them, and better reproduces the colors found in Central European forests in the period from later spring to early autumn.
TheUS-23 material used to sew the sweatshirt is a 50/50 combination of soft cotton and durable polyester. The material is lightweight, breathable and pleasant to the touch. It features high resistance to abrasion and tearing thanks to the Rip-Stop weave.
The sweatshirt is equipped with five practical pockets:
- two on the chest fastened with Velcro,
- two on the shoulders zippered,
- a smaller zippered interior pocket.
The model is characterized by a comfortable cut, which provides maximum freedom of movement. Special pockets (closed with Velcro) are placed on the elbows, which allow the use of protective inserts.
On the chest and shoulders there are sewn-in velcro panels, allowing to affix any patches or emblems, such as the national flag, the emblem of the unit or the so-called Morale Patches.
On the sleeves around the wrists are sewn cuffs, the circumference of which can be adjusted with Velcro. The high collar protects the neck from unfriendly weather conditions.
Main features:
- military specification,
- lightweight and quick-drying fabric,
- durable NYCO Rip-Stop weave,
- chest and sleeve pockets,
- compartments for elbow protectors,
- adjustable cuffs,
- two pen loops,
- zipper closure with patch,
- emblem panels.

I cared about MAPA, and MAPA is here—original. That was the most important thing for me about this sweatshirt. Very light and soft material, it's very comfortable to wear. It's hard to talk about durability after a few days, but the manufacturer is reputable, so it should be OK. There's a slightly unusual pleat in the center of the back instead of 'gills' on the sides. I'm worried it might get blocked under a backpack or harness. Still, overall I'm satisfied.

The sweatshirt is fantastic, but I ordered size M, which is barely okay with 172 cm height, but definitely not with 94 cm waist. The sweatshirt is quite narrow in the lower part. Therefore, size L will be optimal and that's what I'll get. I already have pants in this camouflage (size L) and they’ve been great on the trail.

Very good shirt, I've had it for over a week and it's great. Advantages: -Map camouflage -practical pockets -Velcro by the zipper -panels with Velcro -Slits at the bottom Disadvantages: -the Velcro panels are in the shape of the Maskpol logo (could be square)
-
Durable material, solid stitching and above all, excellent camouflage.
-
Interesting camouflage, sweatshirt made from pleasant material, but it's also very thin.
-
There was a bit of confusion about choosing the right sweatshirt size. A few days after the launch, the size chart was changed and then I decided to buy. After trying it on, I think it was a bullseye. Finally, the dimensions are reliable and match the chart. The material is brilliant, delicate and soft, completely different from typical uniform sweatshirts. And that camouflage...a dream come true, though it cost quite a bit. My rating: strong 5 stars.
-
A really, really fine camouflage pattern.. and the Polish Army didn't want it.. such a pity.
-
A very nice camouflage.. :-) really interesting..
-
The camouflage looks good, the material doesn't irritate the skin, and the seams are solid. I recommend the sweatshirt as well as the entire new MAPE line.
